According to sources Melvin Gordon Jersey , the Rangers, Giants and Diamondbacks are watching Rios from city-to-city. Rios had a career year for Chicago in 2012, batting .304 with 25 home runs and 91 RBIs.

"It is tough this time of the year when the deadline approaches and teams start talking about moving people," Rios said. "It is what it is. Sometimes management has no choice but to make some moves in order to get things going again. This is just a part of the game and we will all have to deal with hearing our names in trade rumors this month."

Rios has a limited no-trade clause in his contract that allows him to veto a deal to six teams.

Jose Fernandez Feels Better Than Ever - RealGM Wiretap

Jose Fernandez is starting to throw with force as he recovers from Tommy John surgery.

The right-hander made 25 tosses on Friday, the second throwing session he has completed since the surgery.

"Feels like I never had surgery and I never stopped throwing Philip Rivers Jersey ," Fernandez said. "It's weird because you think you will feel it. You guys saw there, the ball's just coming out of my hand incredible."

He needed about five minutes to complete the 25 throws to Marlins athletic trainer Sean Cunningham, who winced occasionally as Fernandez's throws from about 30 to 45 feet neared his glove.

"The progress in 4-12 months is really incredible," Fernandez said.
